Chapter 164: 164. Beast Taming Class.
Orion, Adrian, Aslan, and Arthur arrived early for class, with the rest of the top ten students trailing behind them.
The moment they arrived at their destination, they saw Daisy standing in front of the class. She wore a white blouse and a tight-fitting, knee-length, black skirt that perfectly showcased her curves and long legs.
Daisy had black waist-length hair and hazel-colored eyes, as well as a tail and small cow horns that protruded from the sides of her head. These features complemented her creamy skin and slightly pointy, cow-like ears, thereby giving her an overall mesmerizing look.
"Welcome, students, to today's lesson: 'Understanding Beast Behavior and Taming Techniques.' I am Professor Daisy Minotaur, and I am in charge of 'The Beast Mastery and Magical Creature Class.'"
Everyone walked into the class and took their seats while Daisy informed them of the things they needed to know.
However, before she could continue, Daisy decided to apologize for what happened yesterday. "Before I begin today's class, I would like to apologize for missing yesterday's class, and I assure you that it won't happen again. Now, with that out of the way, let's focus on today's task, shall we?"
"I'll need you all to have these with you." Daisy brought out her item box, and ten scrolls floated out before moving towards the students.
There were ten students in attendance, which meant that everyone in Stella Hall had registered for the beast-taming class, regardless of the fact that it was just an elective class.
"What is this?" Adrian asked.
"It's a beast scroll. Is anyone else familiar with what this is?" Daisy inquired, but no one spoke up, because none of them had seen a beast scroll before.
However, this was expected, as not everyone could tame a magical beast.
Most races believed that it was completely normal to slay magical beasts and monsters rather than tame them. Although they weren't wrong about this, during the war, the benefit of having experienced beast tamers was universally recognized, which is why the academy decided to include beast taming in its curriculum.
This way, the art of beast taming would not only be passed down to the current generation but also to future generations.
Orion and everyone else lowered their gazes to look at the scroll in front of them.
The edges of the scroll were glowing, but this wasn't as amazing as what they were about to see.
The scroll slowly unfurled itself, and everyone let out a gasp when they saw a variety of miniaturized magical beasts roaming around in a magical forest.
The tiny magical beasts looked like toys, and a few of the students wondered if they could touch them.
They could also see some clouds, birds, and even a couple of trees that were swaying to the wind; it looked so realistic. This was the first time anyone had seen this type of magic, and the excitement was clearly visible on their faces.
Daisy swept her gaze across the classroom and saw how excited everyone was.
She was pleased with what she was seeing, and a smile spread across her face as well. She noticed that the students couldn't take their eyes off the magical beasts who were walking and hunting within the magical forest.
Some students could see a pack of large wolf-like creatures hunting together, while others spotted a school of large seahorses playing under a waterfall.
Of course, other beasts were roaming around the forest as well.
"I can see a darkling feeding on prey," one student exclaimed.
"Woah, that's cool! But do you see the griffin?" Another replied.
"Yeah, it's ugly as hell," came a third voice.
"Hey, is anyone seeing the Phoenix?" someone else asked.
"Yeah, it's perched on a burning tree!!" one student exclaimed.
"That's cool!" Someone said with awe.
Everyone was amazed by the beautiful Phoenix they saw in the beast scroll, but one of the students raised his arm and asked Daisy a question: "Is this magical forest real?"
"Yes, it is," she answered.
"Where exactly can we find this magical forest?" He asked further.
"You'll have to ask the Council of Beast Masters that question," Daisy replied.
"Are they tamed?" Another student asked.
"No they are not, you guys will have the responsibility of taming them," she explained.
"Can we go in?" Arthur asked.
"Yes, if you think you're ready," Daisy responded.
"Of course, we're ready," Arthur replied before anyone else could.
Then, he nudged Adrian, who was sitting right beside him. "You think so too, right?"
"Dude, why are you asking me that question? Can't you see that these beasts look scary?"
"Bro, come on. You're a man; act like one. There's nothing to be afraid of." Arthur slapped Adrian on the back as he said this.
"Everyone is ready to leave, but if you want to stay, you're free to remain here like a coward. I bet your girlfriend will be proud to hear about her cowardly boyfriend."
Adrian sighed deeply. He didn't want to think about how Luna would react if she heard about him being a coward. "Fine, I'll go."
"That's the spirit! A man should never show weakness."
"Yeah, you're right. I'm a man."
"Who's the man?"
"I'm the man."
"Who's the man?"
"I'm the man!!"
"That is enough!" Daisy commanded, before casting a spell that sealed both Arthur and Adrian's lips. "Since everyone is interested in taming the beasts, you're free to channel your mana or aura into the beast scroll," Daisy instructed, and everyone channeled their mana and aura into the scroll.
Orion did the same thing as well, and the moment he did, he suddenly noticed that he was no longer in the classroom; he was now in the magical forest.
However, as soon as he arrived in the magical forest, he sensed a pair of eyes glaring at him from a distance.
When he turned around, he saw a huge, majestic orange bird with large wings and sharp talons flying toward him; its body ignited in flames.
At first, the Phoenix had been at least four hundred meters away from him, but the moment Orion noticed the bird's presence, the large Phoenix suddenly appeared before him, its sharp talons aimed dangerously close to his face.
